Untamed Chef

Chef Toby is great! This place should have patrons filling it daily. Nothing was over seasoned. The crab cakes were very good. The Caribbean chicken is two meals and delicious!! I just don’t understand how this place isn’t packed to the gills. The food came out fairly quickly. The presentation was really good also. The one thing for me, is the gaming area doesn’t go with how great the food is. It makes the atmosphere drop down low. Yes, there is a bar, yet it detracts and distracts from the ambiance. Get over there and try it all. I am picky and I wasn’t disappointed.

Why is this place not popping up as the #1 place to eat at in Peoria, IL!?! Stopped in for a late lunch and got the brushetta(probably misspelled it) for an appetizer and oh man, the sweet and salty flavors just mixed amazingly and got the jerk chicken special with rice that came with a corn salsa and sweet carrots and side of their Brussels sprouts and the poppy seed mango cole slaw. Everything was to die for, the chicken was moist and fell off the bone. So many flavors...it hit every taste bud. My goodness, for lack of better words I had a mouthgasm. Dear Toby, you are a craftsman and it's a good thing I live so far away, otherwise I'd be coming here way too often. Hands down our favorite place we've eaten at! My husband and I split everything and we still have a whole other meal to enjoy at home 😍😍 prices were VERY reasonable and it's so cool that you can see him preparing the food! THANK YOU!

The Untamed Chef is a fantastic restaurant. It's menu is unique and a welcome break from the ordinary menus of other places. Instead of fries they serve house made seasoned chips. They are great for dips but equally satisfying alone. You must try anything that has the bacon jam. The gourmet burgers are heaven on a bun. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Flavor is major in all that I have tried. Keep in mind that The Untamed Chef not only offers a phenomenal in house and take out menu, they give us options for take and bake items for an even fresher than take away meal at home. This restaurant even has mixology classes at the bar. They hold private events and do catering. The Untamed Chef is a restaurant that is unforgettable. You will be sure to go back.

UPDATE: In response to the owners comment. NO ONE at our table spoke horribly to ANYONE. We talked amongst ourselves about our ongoing experience, but NEVER spoke rudely to ANYONE. I did at one point say in response to a comment made by another family member this "I was worried about us not being here right at 6:30 for our reservation because I was afraid we would put them behind. BUT here we are getting our food at 8:00 and hour and a half after we got here." Apparently she walked into the room while I was saying that. It wasn't directed at her and it wasn't said in a mean tone. I was stating a fact. She did reply I am sorry I am by myself tonight. I just didn't respond. We were so excited to try this restaurant. We saw the great reviews, but our experience wasn't a good one. We had a 6:30 pm reservation for 11 people. The service was slow from the start. It took awhile to get our drinks, the drinks weren't filled for awhile. She did finally bring us a pitcher of water and unsweetened tea so we could fill our own drinks. Our appetizers were delicious!! We had the mushrooms, nachos and bruschetta. The side salads were tiny, but they said they tasted good. The first few dinner pla

I highly recommend this restaurant. It has an wonderful menu with a variety of delicious choices. We saw a group of old high school friends enjoying lunch there. We also saw friends exchanging Christmas gifts. My mom had a hamburger, perfectly cooked, and parmasean pita chips. I had cheese ravioli with little Italian meatballs in an excellent tasting marinera sauce. We also ordered a side of mac & cheese to take home, it tastes amazing !!! The waitress was so sweet !
